Hello,

I was recently looking around for a simple programming language on the Palm and came to know 'iziBasic'.

I was really impressed about the quality of the documentation and that is is a real compiler ... until I found some problems:

- There appears to be only 1 (!) numeric and 1 string array.

Each basic dialect which I am aware of (and I started with TRS80 Level II basic back in the late 70's) has been able to 'dim' any variable as an array of strings or numbers mostly in at least 2 dimensions until running out of memory.

Why is this not possible in iziBasic?

And then the strange mapping of A(1) to A, A(2) to B etc. Never seen this before. Everyone needs a loop counter for iterating over array elements. And if I use the usual variables, 'i', 'j', 'k' etc. I will not be able to use A(1)...A(n) at the same time. Weird.

- Strings can only hold 63 characters. What's that, we have plenty of RAM (several MB free) and I can't have a string with at least the number of characters of a full line (80 chars)? I know of MegaString, but that's only one string variable.

There should be no such limitation.

- Less important, but also missing is a kind of grid form item (with or w/o scrollbars) to display data.

Maybe the author of 'iziBasic' can shed some light on these points.

I would definitely like to see an update that fixes them.

Regards,

Guido
